Product description
With leaves that grow in pairs, are heart-shaped and have undersides in a delightful shade of light pink, Ceropegia Woodii has to be one of the most romantic plants in existence! This charming plant is also known as String of Hearts and has a lovely trailing habit.
String of Hearts is easy to look after and is ideal for new, as well as more experienced, plant parents. It prefers a bright spot out of direct sunlight but does enjoy a quick burst of morning or evening sun now and again. It thrives in lightly moist well drained soil so water little but often. However, it is drought tolerant and under watering is preferable to overwatering.
Ceropegia Woodii is non-toxic to pets and children and has excellent air purifying qualities.
Growing String of Hearts from its baby stage and watching it mature over time, from a tiny leafy stem to a healthy, fully grown plant is a delight to witness.
It’s not unusual to give your plant a name… so don’t hesitate to choose one that you think suits the plant! Try naming your plant with the first name or word that you think of when you look at it - that’s how we ended up with an orchid named Clover and spider plant called Joseph.

House Plant Size Guide
House plants come in a wide array of shapes and sizes depending on the variety and maturity of the plant.
6cm/12cm/15cm/19cm/23cm nursery pots are the most common size of pot that they are sold in. This measurement is the diameter at the top of the pot.
12cm potted plants are the most popular providing great value for money and an instant impact. Larger plants that come in pots of 20cm+ are great for making a statement in any room and can represent years of growth to get to that level of maturity and size.

Top Tip
Ceropegia grows best when allowed to trail freely, so place it in a hanging pot or on a high shelf for maximum impact. Turn the pot occasionally to ensure even light exposure and balanced growth. If the stems become too long or untidy, prune them back gently to encourage fuller growth. With minimal care, this charming plant will reward you with its delicate, heart-shaped foliage and cascading beauty.
How to Water
Water Ceropegia sparingly, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings. During the active growing season, water every 1–2 weeks, depending on the environmental conditions. Reduce watering in winter when the plant goes dormant. Always water at the base, avoiding the leaves, and ensure any excess water drains away to prevent root rot.
How to Plant
To plant Ceropegia, choose a pot with good drainage and fill it with a light, well-draining potting mix, such as one designed for succulents. Position the plant so the base of the stems sits level with the soil surface, ensuring the roots are gently spread out. Backfill with soil, firm lightly, and water sparingly. Place the pot in a bright spot with plenty of indirect light, as Ceropegia thrives in warm, well-lit environments.
